Tilly - 11 Months

 Months 1-6

 

 

Months 7-11

 

 

 

And here we are already at Month 11!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what most of the pictures looked like..

 

 

Month: 11 - May 21, 2015

Height: No doctor appointment again this month to check

Weight:  My guess is maybe around 17lbs?

Diaper Size:  Size 3

Clothes Size:  Well just a few nights ago I went to put her PJs on and all of a sudden she was too long for them! So 12 month footed PJ's, but can wear 9 month 2 pieces.  Regular clothes (tops/shorts/rompers) are a mix of 9 & 12 month, and then dresses range from 3 month to 12 month! ha


Teeth:  Still just the 2 bottom middle


Sleep:  Bumped back again and is down most nights by 7, then not sure when she wakes up exactly because she just sits and plays, but I get her between 7:30-8am.  Still morning nap around 9:30/10 that's normally an hour and a half, and then afternoon nap around 2/3pm that can range from 30 minutes up to an hour and a half.


Eat:  Same ole, same ole.  Around 4 bottles a day, and 3 meals.  Pretty much off baby food, unless I am in a hurry. Her top favs are avocado, turkey kielbasa, any kind of pasta, vanilla yogurt, grilled cheese, and ice cream.

 

Likes:  Moving and grooving! She is constantly "talking" all day long.  She still loves sitting up in the cart people watching.. Oh, and she loves giving kisses-  it's too cute! I'll say, Give mommy kiss! and she turbo grins and smashes into me.  I love it! 

She recently started loving stuffed animals.  We keep one in her crib now (her picture elephant) and she snuggles it all night! She'll sit and talk and play with it forever in the morning until I go get her.

 

She loves getting into anything and everything she isn't supposed to! She is a magnet towards things she shouldn't have. Definitely keeps me on my toes all day long.

She also LOVES to have her leg propped up if she's strapped into something- Cart, High Chair, Stroller.. it doesn't matter what.  It's so funny!

 

 

Lastly, this baby LOVES to dance! She loves music and is always moving and twisting her body side to side, or bouncing up and down.  She can get down!!

 

 

Dislikes: .  I can happily say she has done soooo good with strangers lately. Quite a few people she had never met have held her and she was perfectly fine.  We are going to VA this weekend to see Lance's family, so we will see how she does with traveling on top of being around a lot of people she doesn't know well. Wish us luck!


Firsts:  We had our first Mother's Day together and had a blast.  You can read that post HERE.

 

 

Extra Updates:  She is still just standing on her own in open areas, but walks like crazy with her little push walker and along the couch.  She will stand flat footed, but only walks on her tippy toes.  She loves saying Mama and Dada now and gets SO excited when Lance gets home.  As soon as I hear him pull up, I say- Daddy's home!! And she immediately starts bouncing saying Dadadadada. 

Everyday I look at her and see her slowly turning into a toddler.  I can't believe how big she is getting and how fast this year has flown by.  Her birthday party is June 13 (a week early because of Lance's work schedule) which means we will be celebrating in just 3 short weeks! ah! Where has the time gone?! 

Here are a few of my favorites from this month, along with a sneak peek of birthday fun! Her theme is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.. I can't wait to see it all come together!!

Crockpot Veggie Lasagna

No pictures today, but just a quick pop in to share an awesome recipe I tried last week. Crockpot Lasagna, who would've thought! It was pretty simple, delicious, and made a TON for leftovers. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

- 24 oz. jar plus one cup of your favorite tomato pasta sauce (I mixed 2 different kinds)
- 9 long lasagna noodles, uncooked
- 2 1/2 cups chopped veggies (I used mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and spinach)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 15 oz. container Ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
- 1 egg


Directions:

In a medium bowl, mix 1 and 1/4 cup shredded cheese, egg, and ricotta cheese and set aside.
Sautee chopped veggies on the stove with olive oil and minced garlic for about 3-5 minutes, then add in sauce.
Spread about a fourth of the veggie sauce mixture on the bottom of slow cooker.
Add around 3 noodles, or however many you can fit in one layer.
Spread on 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture.
Layer more sauce, then noodles, ricotta mix, sauce, noodles, sauce, and then sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese on the very top.
You should have a total of 4 layers of veggie sauce, 3 layers of noodles, and 2 layers of ricotta cheese mixture total.

Cook on LOW 4 to 5 hours or HIGH 2-3 hours.  I did 2 1/2 on high and it turned out perfect!

Mother's Day 2015

This year marked my first Mother's Day and it was perfect.  We didn't do anything over the top, but it was wonderful none the less.  First off, Lance got up with Tilly's 7am wake up so I could sleep in some. Well.. if you haven't heard me say it before, my child is a wild one every second she is awake. So unfortunately her loud babbling and playing woke me up not long after she got up.  I got up and went in to find some cute little flowers Lance had picked from outside, and some sweet gifts.  Even Tilly managed to get a sweet card and write me a little message! :)  We got her down a bit early for her nap since we had 11am brunch reservations.  We got ready and snapped a few pics before heading out. 

 

**Note- her dress she is wearing is size 3-6 months! haha They make dresses so big that she can wear anywhere from 3 months to 12 months, just depending how it was made. I'm pretty sure this was a dress I was thinking she would wear LAST summer.. Oh yea, but she wore Newborn for 4 months!

 

 

 

 

 

Once we got downtown we had a few minutes to spare, so we walked around a bit and enjoyed the morning. Below is the look I got when I said, "Smile at mommy!"  Haha that girl!

 

 

 

 

 

We finally got in the restaurant and realized they were doing Brunch this Sunday as a buffet for Mother's Day.  I do wish it was a regular menu day, but the food was amazing.. it was just way too crowded and unorganized for a buffet.  We will definitely have to go back on a regular Sunday, as I have been dying to try their brunch!  Miss Priss snacked on some sausage, muffins, pasta salad, and LOVED the banana pudding!

 

 

 

After brunch, we went by the grocery store and then headed home for a much needed nap! Sadly, my sleepy child decided she needed an extremely short one this day.. of course!  Lastly, we all went on a nice family walk down our new street.  It is SO nice to be able to walk out your front door and go for a walk.  Our old house was on a high speed limit cut through road, so there was no even going near the street.  More to come on the new house soon!  Lots of projects down, and LOTS to come!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall it was a wonderful day spent with the people I love most. 

 

I hope all my mommy friends and family had the best day!!!
